    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 19, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,607 views

    Apostle Paul states we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. We have been sculpted by the Master to serve in His kingdom so why then isn't every Christian serving?

    Strange Case Of The Cursed Fig Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 10, 2021
     | 4,981 views

    Christ cursed a tree for not having fruit when it wasn't the season for figs. The real symbolism represents God's expectation that we be fruitful and 4 reasons are given why God's expectation is reasonable. Then 3 types of fruit we must have are identified.

    STRANGE CASE OF THE CURSED FIG TREE Matthew 21:18-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Barbara Albright, a young woman, was discussing her dating life -- or lack thereof -- with her mother. She told her about a friend of hers who had been in a terrible car accident, broken both her legs, and wound up ...read more

    Loving Others

    Contributed by Annie Springate on May 26, 2016
     | 8,406 views

    The commandment Jesus left us with is to love God and love others. In general we find it much easier to love God than we do loving others. Why is that? We have an enemy and when we realize his tactics we are better placed to fulfill Jesus' command.

    Loving Others • The Word of God is the most powerful thing that exists in the earth • Consistent attention and with full attention • It is our education If you want to be a doctor you need to be educated. If you want to be a carpenter you need to be educated, if you want to be a ...read more

    Trust Me

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 8, 2015
     | 10,599 views

    Trust issues; many of us have them. Yet I think everyone trusts in something or someone. In God We Trust is written on our money yet ironically more americans trust in money than they do God. Let's see why trusting in God is the much wiser choice.

    TRUST ME In my last series, I focused on the places where Jesus said, “I tell you the truth”. But in order to accept what Jesus said we need to trust that he knows what the truth is. Jesus said to Pilate, “Everyone on the side of truth listens to me”, to where Pilate ...read more

     | 7,809 views

    Have you ever made a mistake? You may be thinking, 'is this a trick question'. Knowing the answer is a resounding, 'yes', why is it so hard to admit that we make them? Everyone makes mistakes, even those in the bible. They were just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part one) Have you ever made a mistake? You may be thinking, 'is this a trick question'. Knowing the answer is a resounding, 'yes', often times it's hard to admit when we've made a mistake. Remember the show, 'Happy Days'? There was an episode where ...read more

    I am so glad that March is over. It is going to remembered years from now like September 11th, or the day that Katrina roared onto the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005, or the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. You ask why?

    "They Have Taken Him” Series

     | 2,255 views

    Through her tears she saw angels asking her “why are you crying?” What kind of idiot question is that? “The so-and-so’s who murdered Him now have stolen His body and I don’t know where He is.”

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2020 “They Have Taken Him” There are very few Gospel scenes more touching than the one we just heard. Mary Magdalene–from whom Jesus had cast multiple demons–owed everything to Jesus. But she had stood with His Mother, Mary, and the disciple John, and had watched the Romans ...read more

    Why spiritual healing? Because of the sinful nature. But man sinned again send God Genesis 3:6, Adam and Eve sinned against God. --we are all in sin, We need spiritual healing. --You may ask brother Adam and Eve sinned, I have not sinned.

    Read...Psa 51:5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.

    When The Wilderness Calls Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,700 views

    Everyone wants to remain in their own proverbial Eden and wait for God to bring them blessings on a silver platter. It’s no wonder why we look down upon seasons of difficulties or even the idea of having to go through a wilderness to arrive at the place God has called us to.

    She Left Her Waterpot

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 19, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 34,418 views

    The water pot was expensive. She forgot her errand. Why? As she stood there looking into the eyes of Jesus and hearing His voice, she began to feel a Presence of God she’d never felt before. Many people left things behind when they met Jesus. Have you?

    SHE LEFT HER WATERPOT John 4:4-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: DISASTER STRIKES TWICE 1. A cruise liner was blown off course by a hurricane and sank in the Pacific and the shipwrecked passengers swam to an island inhabited by cannibals. Only 3 passengers survived the shipwreck and they all happened to ...read more

    The Gospel means that I know I am going to Heaven when I die and that I can experience heaven on earth while I’m here...so why hasn’t His resurrection transformed and changed our lives like those we read about in Scripture?

    Be Holy... Mission Impossible?

    Contributed by Paul Davidson on May 22, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 23,254 views

    Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a difficult time just being a decent husband and father. How am I supposed to be as holy as God Himself? I’m just human. I make mistakes. Why am I being commanded to do something that seems to be impossible?

    Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:13-22… [READ] Our key verses this morning are verses 15-16… “15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Be Holy… How is this even possible?

    I Am With You When You Are All Alone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 26, 2020
     | 5,925 views

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more

    Kingdom Keys - Mark Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 12, 2024
     | 695 views

    Fear and confusion are normal when first encountering the risen Jesus. It's why there are so many who hear the word, come in contact with the power of God and retreat. It doesn’t take brilliance to understand God’s message to humanity after hearing the facts. It takes courage.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more
